Coming up at 5 00 what the fraternity is saying about this. Reporting live, brianne carter, abc7 news. Jonathan thank you. Tonight president obama calling for urgent action to tackle climate change. He left this morning with john kerry, secretary of state. He and the president will address the state Department Conference on Global Leadership in the arctic and the president will tape a special episode of running wild with the survivalists there. You can look for that coming up on cable. A live look outside, sun and clouds to start the workweek. It looked like it would rain. Kimberly humid, too. That is what you are touching on. Rain drops in the future, doug . Doug not in the immediate area. If you factor in the dew point, the dew point it feels like 91 at Reagan National. Midtoupper 80s across the area. 88 in fredericksberg. 77 in andrews. 86 in baltimore. You factor in the moisture from the dew point temperatures. Those are running through the 60s to close to 70 in spots. That is how we are feeling, warmer than the warmer capts. Getting through the evening hours, its overnight muggy. You could see outline areas of 67. But a muggy start to tuesday. Tomorrow is first day of september and meteorological autumn. In a little bit we will give you the numbers for the summer meteorological summer ending today. Temperatures interesting, interesting summer we have had indeed. In the shortterm, its 66 in the suburbs. We will look to the rest of the week. Jonathan thanks. Scary start for the first day of school for Montgomery County. The picture tells the tale. Two buses. One backed in the back of the other one. One of the buses shattered the win shield. The back was crushed. 17 students evaluated and evacuate and doing fine. Injuries were minor. Kimberly the first day of school was smoother for other students including those in virginia. Jonathan students in manassas city, loudoun and prescription william counties returned to Prince William counties returned to class. Its back to school earlier than usual. Traditionally in virginia they start the day after labor day. But a waiver was signed to start a week earlier because of the snow days. We have a highlight. The three bullet points of the year. 87,000 students enrolled. A growing School System. The second largest in virginia. So class size, is it a big concern Going Forward . That is why they are building more schools. This is chris Young Elementary School who is named after Fallen Police officer chris young who lost his life two yeah years ago sadly. You can see the students, about 700 of them walking into the school for the first time ever. We think it will be a tremendous inspiration for chris youngs legacy to live on for years to come. Yet the class size is always a challenge and continues to be. Having enough bus drivers. So if you want to drive a bus we could use more bus drivers. Im glad in his classroom they have two teachers,ous. One teacher wont be so overwhelmed. We transferred from the fairfax city school so this is a change. Were excited. Brand new and everything. Looking forward to having fun and making friends. Looking at the group behind me, you can probably tell how diverse the School System is. Well, it is. We are told that this year alone there will be 120 languages spoken by the students here in Prince William county. In virginia, john gonzalez. Jonathan we asked you to submit backtoschool pictures.

Kimberly the largest batch yet of Hillary Clinton emails when she was secretary of state are going to be released tonight. What should you expect to see in senior political reporter scott thuman joining us live from the capitol hill bureau. Do you think there will be something incriminating in there . Scott we dont know. That is what we are waiting for. We know we will see 7,000 pages that will be released in the latest patch that will happen around 9 00 tonight. What is safe to predict, though, is that it will continue to be an issue for clinton. The problem for her is that some of the emails are now after the fact being labeled classified or top secret in a few cases. So though she claims she did nothing wrong and didnt send them from the private home server they are now called at by the Inspector General by the state department so the critics are lining up. Including now the former Vice President dick cheney. It wasnt how we handled the classified information. He should have known better. I think she should have known better. Do you think the russian and chinese have her emails . They have my personnel records. How can they not have her email . Do you think it undermines or disqualifies her candidacy . I think there is a real possibility of that. So the last batches that are put out in person and made public on the website every month. The last batch is scheduled to arrive at the beginning of next year, 2016. That times out to the iowa caucuses. In january. February of 2016. Have a say in the race for white house . We talk about that at 6 00. We will tell you how many of the batch of 7,000 are called classified and will be withheld from public view. A lot to talk about it and we will see you in an hour and a half. Kimberly we will look for you then. Kimberly an investigation involving two planes that were packed with people. Wings of so southwest Airline Planes hit each other at the Oakland International airport. A chunk came off the departing flight wing. No one was hurt. Heard a loud popping noise. A jolt. We saw a chunk of the wind tip on the right side come off. Kimberly southwest says both planes were taken out of service and will undergo a maintenance check. Jonathan this is a heartpounding shark encounter and caught on camera, of course. Watch this. Take a look. The nearly 7foot hammer head circling the kayakers off the coast north of san diego. This is not a shark looking to paddle the boat. Probably wanted to eat win. Nearby swimmers pulled to safety. Lifeguards evacuated the beaches as a precaution. The lifeguards come by and they are like even out of the water. Freak og out. I thought theyd be calm. They were like even out shark jonathan the hammerhead falled them to shore followed them all the way back to shore. Nobody was hurt. For the most part hammer heads are not dangerous sharks. Kimberly still, not a lot separating you from the shark. Jonathan you think . A new list ranks commuters in the country. Kimberly maryland is one of the worst. Its been found maryland is the fourth worst state to drive in. Drivers in the free safe have the longest commute at 30 minutes. That is six minutes above the national level. They have the 11th highest insurance premiums. Ranked in the high repair cost as well and the rate of car theft and the annual gas spending. Is there anything left . Kimberly they did rank the sixth lowest for fatal crashes. So that is one silver lining. Virginia ranked 19th in the survey. Which is surprising because virginia has so few routes to washington and maryland has so many. Jonathan talking about the traffic lets look at it. Jamie sullivan has a look at the monday afternoon commute. Not bad. A couple lot spots. Jamie its pretty bad in some spots. Start with this picture that we have. This car on the side is southbound at g. W. At belle haven. They may block off the road. They havent done it yet. You can see the cones out already. Look at the pace. If you are traveling on the capital beltway we are okay. This is the issue. A disabled vehicle that is blocking off the right lane. This is northbound. Lets look at the backup behind this. Not much to worry about. This is the green. Slowdown is where you see the yellow line. This is from the capital beltway to take you under 20 minutes. I say its typical because we are used to this. Southbound closer to the mixing bowl. In arlington, the issue is this water main break. Best option as an alternate is to use wilson boulevard. Capitol boulevard is pretty good. We have one slow stretch from virginia to maryland. Through Montgomery County we are okay. We dont have any big delays. The bottom still looks good across the wilson bridge. Closer to joint base andrews. That is a look of traffic. We have issues and will look at the vehicle on the parkway. Kimberly we were clearly in denial about the traffic situation. Same thing about summer ending. Jonathan meteorologically speaking this is the last day of summer . Doug yes. Autumn begins tomorrow. Dont confuse with the official seasons astronomical and fall doesnt begin until the 21, 22 of september septemb. But Pay Attention to this because this could be a final jeopardy question if this is a category. Look at the Cardinal RidgeElementary School in centreville. This is the way it was for most of the area. Cloudy start to the day. Midday skies brighten. The clouds came back. At 3 00, the clouds moved out of the area. Now we have the bright blue skies. With that, the southeasterly wind. That is driving the temperatures up. Driving the humidity up. On the last day of august this is hot and humid. Beautiful sky conditions. Since we are wrapping up the month of august, we are in the books with 1. 16 inches of rain. That is below average for the month. In the last 19 days we have only had. 58 of an inch of rain since june 1, the first day of the meteorological summer. We have a surplus of 7. 75 inches of rain for the season since the 1st of june. But its dry. Very dry. But officially we are not in a drought situation yet in the d. C. Metro area. We will keep close tabs on that. We have showers well west of metro. To the eastern panhandful of West Virginia panhandle of West Virginia. Look at the numbers. The midtoupper 80s across the board from the bay to the mountains and tonight. We will stay muggy. Partly cloudy, 67 to 74 by morning. High pressure in control. That will move eastward in the next couple of days. Its hot and humid and we have a chance of a shower or a thunderstorm wednesday. Another chance here on friday. Right now, find some wood. [knocking] plexi glass. Thats wood. Right now it looks like the Labor Day Weekend will be fine with the cooler temperatures and also fair amount of, you know, sunshine throughout the weekend. At the beaches with the temperatures in the mid80s. That looks good to me. But i always have my [knocking] caveat. Its a Holiday Weekend and only monday. Kimberly coming up on abc7 news at 4 00 tom bradys availability for the start of the nfl season. Now is in the hands of a judge. When the judge expects to make a decision in the deflategate scandal. Jonathan here is another backtoschool picture to show you. Leahs mother sent us this photo and says she is super excited to be in the first grade at lakeville Elementary School at rockville. You can see it on her face she loves her teachers. Good picture. Thank you for sharing with us. Well be right back after this. Jonathan a judge will decide tom bradys fate in the whole deflategate scandal after the patriots quarterback and the nfl could not come to an agreement. The two sides are arguing over bradys punishment. The punishment is a fourgame suspension. Abc elizabeth has the latest development for us. Elizabeth tom brady left court before noon flashing a smile but without talking to reporters. Hours earlier there were tears from fans for the star quarterback. And boos for nfl commissioner roger goodell. The two arriving separately for lastminute settlement talks that ended without a compromise. It is now up to the judge to settle their differences over deflated footballs. We want to thank the court. We tried our best to reach a settlement, which we did not reach. But i think that for us it reinforces the desire and the need for an independent arbitrator. In these matters of personal conduct. Elizabeth the Nfl Players Union wants the fourgame suspension thrown out. The league is arguing it acted appropriately upholding the punishment. Brady was fined and suspended after nfl concluded that brady was generally aware two employees conspired to deflate footballs before the arkansasf. C. Championship a. F. C. Championship game. Allegations that brady denies and continues to fight. The nfl has gone into this with the advantage. I think they still have the advantage. Settlement talks went nowhere. You have to give more favoritism to the judgment ruling for the league. But you never know. Elizabeth should the judge rule in favor of the league analysts say its still possible for brady to play in the Season Opener next week by appealing the ruling and essentially asking the judge to put his decision on hold. While the appeal process plays itself out. In new york, im elizabeth hur, abc7 news. Kimberly coming up at abc7 news at 4 00 stranded at the zoo.

Staying in the middle 80s on monday with a lot of sunshine. The average high for this time of year is at 84 degrees.

Move to the maps. This activity has two lanes blocked off. 95 southbound in virginia. You can see 10 miles per hour. That is a pretty good idea of what you just saw. The commute is the slow down. 395, you are heavy at well. It will take you under 30 minutes. Getting from the 14th street bridge. Continuing south toward the mixing bowl. Some spots in the teens but definitely going to see the congestion. The 395 delay not because of the crash. Water main breaks. Carlin spring and abington road. Wilson boulevard is the best alternate. Montgomery county we have a water main break. This is on jebson road in silver spring, wheaton, glenmont. South of ran doll road. Best option is livington street. G. W. Parkway southbound is blocked off. This is near belle haven road. You can get around it with the police direction. That is a look at traffic. Back to you.

Times is saying that delta is shaming passengers to paying more.
